♪ Song of the Day ♫
The culminant song of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. As many have stated, this album is what made music be what we hear todays. It continues what the reprise of the title's song left, like the applauses. It starts with a casual day, an accident was reported as a man crashed his car and was left headless (this is constantly referred as the death of the real Paul McCartney. The one that we hear today is allegedly just someone trained to look like him. This has not been proved yet). Following an orchestral bridge in the song, the narrator informs that he went to see a movie. Another orchestral bridge later and John Lennon begins to sing about waking up late (Woke up, fell out of bed[...]looking up, I noticed I was late). Then, as the song draws to a close, the narrator reports of a shooting in Lancashire. Finally, the orchestra re-enters, tensing the environment, when a crashing piano finishes the album that made history.

Album of the Week
This is the debut album for one of the next big groups, in my opinion. Using masks like Slipknot and lyrics that sound similar to that of Eminem, they are a promising act. Swan Songs clocks in at about 49 minutes. The lyrics are meaningful, and at times funny, and there are some good riffs in here. The album has 14 tracks and they are all amazing. Among the best are "Undead", "No. 5", "Young", and "City", but don't get me wrong the rest is good too. This album is great for a debut and full of great moments. Hollywood Undead are great, and I am looking forward to the follow-up album.

Free Music of the Week
When you dive into the wonder that is free music, you quickly realize that ambient and drone type releases are by far the most numerous, so this week I'm choosing something that is completely opposite. Ambient music is meant to calm and Karlahan's A Portrait of Life is meant to get your blood boiling (in a good way). This one is for all of the metalheads in the audience; a piece that typifies Symphonic Metal and all it stands for. With its full sound, blazingly quick riffs, and harsh vocals, I recommend this to any metalhead looking to save a few bucks on their next album purchase. A link for the download can be found on their official MySpace blog

Editors' Corner
» Wikia
LyricWiki in the old sense of the word has shut down. However, the entire contents has been contributed to this new wiki which is run by Wikia. Wikia has a licensing deal with music publishers, so the project will be able to survive and thrive!
Read more about these changes in The Announcement.
Unfortunately, licensing agreements with the biggest publishers in the music industry require us to no longer offer the ability for programmatic access to LyricWiki's collection of lyrics.
We tried to arrange some way to let API Developers license through us, but this was not possible.
While this is not something we are happy about, it is a necessity in order to finally secure licensing for LyricWiki from the major publishers which will allow the project to survive indefinitely.
For more info, please see the letter to API Developers
Thanks to the concentrated efforts of all the editors who took this project on board, there are now just 66 songs needing language identification. So how's about we give it our best shot over the next few weeks to reduce this figure to zero?
For the benefit of all our new editors, here's what needs doing: the language of the lyrics of all the songs found in the above category need to be identified and entered in the language parameter of the SongFooter (N.B. using the English language name).
Happy editing!
